GENRE STUDY A play is a story that can be performed for
an audience.
• Plays develop characters and reveal the plot through dialogue,

or conversation. Authors may use informal language to make
the dialogue realistic.

• Plays include stage directions within parentheses to help set
the scenes and tell what the characters are doing.
• Many plays include a theme or lesson learned by the main

characters.
